I recommend picking up one of the many Rick Steve’s books. He has a book on every European country as well as The Best of Europe. He tells you the best places to visit, tips about booking things like museums and tours, recommends good restaurants and hotels and the best part it he tells you how to do it and save money!

If you don’t feel like doing all the research yourself you can take a tour or go with a group!

This is a fun and easy way to meet other people outside of your program while abroad.
